Ultimate SharePoint 2010 Development Rig
October 4th, 2010 // 1:31 pm @ Amar
I have been researching on building the best SharePoint 2010 development environment for quite sometime now. I am happy to say that my new rig has arrived and it is a blast to work with it. Have been using it for around a month now. Will soon have a few blog posts for people who are interested in building similar rigs and setup a good development environment.

SharePoint 2010 editions
June 4th, 2010 // 1:57 pm @ Amar
If you are getting confused about which edition of SharePoint you need, there is a nice handy chart over at Microsoft.
Thanks to my friend Tobias who tweeted about it. A very handy reference when you are trying to match required features with the editions.

SharePoint 2010 advanced training
June 4th, 2010 // 10:44 am @ Amar
If you are an existing MOSS developer, and are tired of going thru training material which tells you what a webpart is and the difference between SPSite and SPWeb, there is some good news. Just stumbled across some free SharePoint 2010 training from Microsoft specifically aimed at existing MOSS developers. Definitely worth having a look if you want to quickly get an overview of this new and exciting platform.

Recently someone asked me if any of the SharePoint 2010 books are out yet. I know there are quite a few books which are scheduled to release this spring / summer however not sure if there are any books currently available in the market. Will update once I find some good book recommendations for SharePoint 2010.

Recently I have started developing a few products for the SharePoint 2010 space. It has been quite a satisfying experience. Hopefully if everything is on schedule, you should be seeing first glimpses of some of our products this summer. We have been working quite hard in getting some unique and interesting concepts in the market. Hopefully it will help make your SharePoint 2010 experience even more enjoyable.

SharePoint 2010
January 20th, 2010 // 2:05 pm @ Amar
Not sure how many of you have started working seriously with SharePoint 2010. I am pretty impressed with it, and am looking to do more and more work with it in the coming days. Going to try migrating a few test 2007 portals to 2010 and hopefully, the migration story will be a smooth success even for sites with complex customisations.
I have been playing with the API for a while and have migrated a few of the webparts we are working on for 2010. It was quite a smooth process. We are spending more and more time developing some exciting products for 2010, so looking forward to releasing the beta versions in a few months. Stay tuned.

Happy New Year
January 10th, 2010 // 5:48 pm @ Amar
Wishing everyone a happy 2010. It has been a long time since I blogged. After around 5+ years of blogging, I guess I was a bit burnt out. Personal and professional life was also demanding more time, and I somehow felt less and less inclined to blog. Without any kind of plans, I suddenly felt like checking my blog today. Upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. Will fix the theme a bit so that it does not look broken. Let’s see how it goes. No promises if I will be blogging regularly. Hopefully I will get a lot of exciting things to write about, as I am playing with SharePoint 2010, Office 2010, Windows and SQL Azure and a lot of fantastic new technologies. If I feel like, I will start blogging again. If not, I guess I need a longer vacation from blogging.
Thanks to everyone who read my blogs in the past. I has been a very exciting experience. Apologies for drifting away from blogging without telling. I did not have any plans for leaving, however personal and professional life took their toll and I just did not have any time to blog. For those who don’t know, I got married in 2007. I started my own company Toolagen Limited in 2008. 2009 had been a very hectic year for work, as a small startup we were struggling to stay alive and grow in the midst of recession. It was a very challenging time, but we grew from strength to strength and now have exciting plans for times ahead. Let’s see where 2010 take us.
Anyways, if you read so far, many thanks. Hope I get time and the motivation to start writing again, and again get a chance to know you all. Till then, wishing everyone a very happy 2010.
